Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 10 in the Tabernacle system refers to the seven times of the sprinkling of blood on the mercy seat. Now, it refers to the suffering of Jesus until He dies on the cross to cover us up to the perfection like Jesus.
Jesus has experienced the seven times of the sprinkling of blood, so He receives the seven lights of glory.
Revelation 10:1-3
10:1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
10:2. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
10:3. and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.
Jesus appears in the seven lights of glory to illuminate us, the sinners, so we can become as glorious and perfect as Him.
ad. 5. Having a little book open in his hand.
It refers to the revelation of the Word, namely a verse that explains another verse in the Bible.
It is the same as the true teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword.
Jesus gives the revelation of the Word, so we are not deceived by false teachings.
Matthew 24:3-5,11,24
24:3. Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
24:4. And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.
24:5. "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
24:11. "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
24:24. "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
"Privately" means that we must receive the teaching word privately to face Jesus' second coming and deception in the last days.
The massive deception will happen in the world in the last days to deceive, if possible, even the elect, namely ones who are used by God in the true teaching word.
Revelation 12:4
12:4. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
There are three kinds of deception as follows:
God blesses us.

Revelation 12:4
12:4. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
There are three kinds of deception as follows:
- The deception of mind.
2 Corinthians 11:2-3
11:2. For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
11:3. But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
The mind is corrupted by false teaching, so one is corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
It is like Eve who is deceived by the serpent.
Why is Eve corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ? Because she hears the voice of snake that differs from the true teaching word that is preached by God.
Genesis 3:1
3:1. Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?"
Consequently, Eve adds and takes away the word. She leaves the true teaching word and turns to the false one.
Consequently, Eve is sent out from Paradise to the world. The atmosphere of happiness turns to the one of curse, namely labors, heavy burdens, and tears up to perdition forever.
Be watchful! In the last days, the congregation is also deceived by the serpent with false teaching.
The example is the church in Thyatira.
Revelation 2:19-20
2:19. "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
2:20. "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
The church in Thyatira looks good, but having spot.
The teaching of Jezebel is the false one that allows woman to teach or have authority over a man in the marriage and ministry. It is against the Bride Tidings that teaches that Christ is the head of man and a man is the head of woman.
1 Timothy 2:11-14
2:11. Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
2:12. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
2:13. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
2:14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
If woman becomes the head of a man, Jesus will not become the head of marriage and congregation, but serpent or Satan.
The proof is having the teaching of hell and the depths of Satan.
Revelation 2:24
2:24. "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
Revelation 2:23
2:23. "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
We must experience the double purification to face the false teaching as follows:- We are purified by the true teaching word and Holy Communion.
- We are purified by the sprinkle of blood or suffering in flesh for Jesus.
We keep holding fast the simplicity that is in God. We put Jesus as the head. - We are purified by the true teaching word and Holy Communion.
- The deception of life journey.
1 Peter 2:21-25
2:21. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
2:22. "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth";
2:23. who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;
2:24. who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.
2:25. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
The matter of life journey is deceived means that one is not shepherded, but walks around, so he meets a lion that will swallow and destroy him.
1 Peter 5:8
5:8. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
That is why we must return to the shepherding system.
In the last days, we must be shepherded well and correctly.
John 10:4
10:4. "And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
In the shepherding system, the sheep follow the voice of Shepherd through the shepherding word.
The shepherding word is the true teaching word God entrusts to a pastor to preach to the congregation faithfully and orderly in regularity. It becomes the food for congregation, so the spirituality can grow.
The shepherding word also becomes the command for the congregation to give the way to the New Jerusalem.
1 Peter 2:21
2:21. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
The steps of Jesus, the Great Shepherd, are in the sign of blood. They are the same as the ones of the cross or the death and resurrection. It is the safest way because Satan cannot touch us.
The facts of the way of cross are as follows:- The way of cross is the same as the one of death and resurrection.
1 Peter 2:24,22-23
2:24. who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.
2:22. "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth";
2:23. who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;
The way of death means the repentance or being dead to sin. It starts from the sin of lying. We do not repay evil for evil, but repay good for evil.
The way of resurrection means that we must live for righteousness in our whole life.
1 Peter 2:25
2:25. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
As a result, we experience the healing and preservation power of God.
Spiritually, we experience peace.
Physically, God takes care of our life, so we just give thanks to Him. - Having died to old life, we might live for the new one. It means that we experience the renewal of life from fleshly men to spiritual ones.
Ezekiel 11:19-20
11:19. "Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,
11:20. "that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
We obey the word of God.
Matthew 7:21
7:21. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
If we become obedient, the door of heaven will be opened and so will the doors in the world.
Obedience is the key to success.
Revelation 21:2-3
21:2. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
If we become obedient, we will enter the New Jerusalem.
- The way of cross is the same as the one of death and resurrection.
- The deception of company.
1 Corinthians 15:33-34
15:33. Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits."
15:34. Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
There are three kinds of false company as follows:- The worldly company or sins up to the peak.
1 Corinthians 5:8,11
5:8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
5:11. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.
We must limit our company by the sincerity and truth.
The sincerity means that we are holy up to our heart and mind. We live in accordance with the word or the true teaching one. - False teaching company.
Romans 16:17
16:17. Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.
The true and false things cannot become one. - The worldly company.
1 Corinthians 15:33
15:33. Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits."
James 4:4
4:4. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
The worldly company makes us unfaithful in the ministry to God.
Genesis 28:10-12,16-18
28:10. Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran.
28:11. So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.
28:12. Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
28:16. Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it."
28:17. And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!"
28:18. Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it.
Jacob firmly leaves the company with Esau, so he experiences the one of angel or the kingdom of heaven as follows:- Entering the true and good shepherding--the angel refers to shepherd.
We persevere in the three kinds of main service to God as follows:- The Golden Candlestick refers to perseverance in committing the General Service. We have fellowship with Holy Spirit God in His anointing and gifts.
- The Table of Showbread refers to perseverance in committing the Bible Study Service with Holy Communion. We have fellowship with the Son of God in the teaching Word and the sacrifice of Christ.
- The Golden Altar of Incense refers to perseverance in committing the Prayer Service. We have fellowship with Father God in His love.
- The Golden Candlestick refers to perseverance in committing the General Service. We have fellowship with Holy Spirit God in His anointing and gifts.
- The building of the spiritual Temple of God or perfect body of Christ.
- Struggling to worship God or putting Jesus as the head.
Genesis 32:24-28
32:24. Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.
32:25. Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.
32:26. And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!"
32:27. So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."
32:28. And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed."
We struggle to wait and greet Jesus when He comes a second time. It is the same as being strong and of good courage.
Psalm 27:14
27:14. Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!
Being strong and of good courage means that we do not get disappointed and desperate as well as leave God, regardless of anything that happens to us. We keep holding fast the true teaching word and practicing it, regardless of anything that happens to us.
We also struggle to face antichrist who will reign over the world for three and a half years. We surrender all of our worry to God. We just believe and hope in God and we surrender all of our problems to the hands of God. He is able to finish all impossible problems in due time.
We also struggle for the salvation and perfection of our family.
We keep struggling until we receive the new name. Jacob (a liar) becomes Israel (a winner). We become the house of prayer.
We are honest and patient to wait the time of Jesus until we do not stumble in words.
Proverbs 16:32
16:32. He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
We are worthy to greet Jesus when He comes a second time.
- The worldly company or sins up to the peak.
God blesses us.
